November at Marlowe

We had tons of turkey time fun this month! We made several festive crafts, learned some turkey songs, and Ms. Mary even taught us a turkey dance!

Our Mystery Readers for this month were twin sisters of a current student (and also Marlowe alumni).  We loved having their puppy for show-and-tell. 

The puppy wasn't the only special animal on our campus this month. A petting zoo come to visit last week!! We had a cow, horse, donkey, three goats, a pig, sheep, bunny, and chicken on our playground for the better part of a morning. 

We watched the bulb we started to water last month grow even taller, started to sprout a cob of corn, and loved watching the pods of our new venus fly trap open and close. 

As always, we've been working hard in the classroom. We can't wait to show off our lessons during this month's Afternoon at Marlowe!

October at Marlowe

We studied all about plants this month. We learned the parts of the flower, watched a bulb sprout, planted some grass and observed its expanding root system, changed celery stalks into different colors, and we dissected both an apple and pumpkin.

We couldn't help but conduct this spooky physics experiment (regarding chemical reactions) as well. 

We hosted a Secret Chef and used Halloween magic to turn an Oreo into a spider, and we were visited by a Mystery Reader who is also a former Marlowe Alumna!

Two of our most popular materials this month were definitely our puzzle maps and dressing frames. At one point, I looked over at the stand, and all but two were in use!

Your children have been incredibly busy this year, and I am so excited by their progress. We are looking forward to bragging about them during parent-teacher conferences next week!
